As the sun rose the rays shone through the small stone window of the Doctor's large cell. He awoke to three rather old men that gathered around him, and a shy young human girl, who was hiding in a corner. He got up brushed the dust off his coat and grinned at them.
"Hello, I'm the Doctor and I am here to save you all from the terror of war!"
The men gave him an odd look and walked away. They were all human men, but you could tell they had lost their humanity from the terror in their eyes. He was horrified at the site, but the young girl was the worst. She could not be more than 20 years old and she sat with her face to the window not moving at all.
He slowly walked up to her, and put his hand slowly on her shoulder. She jumped, but looked over at him and scowled. She quickly made her hand into a fist and swung it at him. He jumped back and caught her hand.
"Hi! I'm the Doctor. I'm a prisoner just like you, so don't go trying to fight me. I am already mad enough that I am stuck here. I am tired of people picking on you guys. Just because you are nowhere near as advanced as them. They conquer and take over. Now, who are you?"
She hesitated and brushed her long blonde hair out of her face. "My name is Seven, I am a human girl and I was born right here in Will Capitol. I was too young to remember time without war, but as far as I know, I have always been here."
The Doctor frowned and put his hand in hers.
"Well, Seven, tonight you and I are going to break out. Just let me check my pocket for a…Oh, gosh! I never got a new sonic. Well, I guess I'll have to do it the old way. Okay, first things first, can you tell me all you know about the war."
She smiled and pulled him to her little corner of the cell.
"This is my tunnel. I use it to go out every night and watch the stars!"
His jaw dropped.
"And you come back? Blimey, you are one crazy girl."
She frowned and sat down, as he did the same.
"There is nowhere to go, every land mass is occupied by the war bound, except the cold land. It's our only hope, but I will tell you all I know of the war."
She started with her first memory as a child seeing a large ship in the sky. It was the shape of the moon, and it came down with full force. It crushed a few houses, and out of it came the man that she knew as her king. He sent out his men to take over, and within one week, all of Europe was under his control. This is all she knew, except for one last thing. She had seen on one of her trips to the outside, a small hut where a young girl without a nose lived alone. She wanted to visit and see another girl, but she was to scared of what would happen.
The Doctor smiled and gave her a long hug.
"My dear Seven, after I save the day here, like I always do, we can see those stars. You see, I'm a traveler and I am in need of a friend to go with me."
His cocky smile was wiped off when a large soldier, came to the door and yelled his name. He slowly walked up to the cell door and was pulled outside.
"The King wishes to speak to you!"
"Oh! A sentence! I like this one."
They dragged him slowly to the throne room again, and the king was sitting, smiling and stroking a sword he had.
"Dear Doctor, how was your night in the cell with those rats?"
"The rats were gross, but the humans... now I rather like them! See, they are just like us! Expect, well... they have noses, unlike you lot."
This made the king very angry, he slowly rose his sword and threw it to the other side of the throne room.
"You mock us, Doctor?"
"Yeah, that's what I would call it. I just want to know one thing, how do you guys smell?"
The king smiled and opened his mouth to make a rather intelligent speech about this fact, but was quickly stopped.
"Awful, I mean have you ever even heard of a shower? I just died two days ago and I smell better. Though, I could use a shave and a sonic. Anyways, I'd like to go back to my cell now. This is a bore."
The King grabbed a whip from his belt, and licked his lips. He rose it above his head and struck the Doctor across the face, and then once more.
"You made me bleed my own blood? Now, that's what I call a war!"
The soldiers dragged him back slowly and threw him back in the cell so that he hit the far wall. He fell and began to rub his face. Seven ran to his aid with her towel.
"Okay, that got him mad enough. He won't have any guards to bring us food and that gives us more time to plan."
As they planned their escape, the army of Will began another assault on Fear. The men were never tired, for they were made for war. They lived off the emotion of will, and they all were born with the will to fight and live.
The Doctor tried hard to remember where he had parked the TARDIS, and as it came to him, he knew it would be guarded.
"Okay, we will have to be very sneaky and... Are you even listening to me?"
Seven was to busy looking at the stars and thinking of how it would be to visit each and every one of them.
"Oh, gosh! Yes, I am sir!"
"And stop calling me sir. it's The Doctor, or Doctor, if you're lucky" and as he said that he winked to no avail.
She crept to her hole and began her crawl to freedom, The Doctor was close behind, and as they got to the opening he could not believe what he was seeing. The hole was dug right in front of where the TARDIS landed. He jumped and smiled as he snapped his fingers.
"Get in! Get in! This is my ship!"
She smiled as he took her hand and pulled her in. He closed the door and ran to the console, to press a few buttons.
"Yes, dear. A new one…again!"
As he said this, a new sonic popped out of a hole in the middle and he grabbed it with excitement.
"It's blue! Oh, I love blue ones! Not to big, not to small, and a bit pointy. Hope that doesn't hurt to sit on, I mean, when it's in my pocket. I mean… Oh nevermind. How do you like it Seven?"
"It's… roomy!"
"Yes, I know bigger on the inside!"
"To say the least! This is amazing! So, where to first can I pick which star."
"First go change out of those rags, there is a closet right through there! And first, we need to stop this crazy war, and I know exactly where to start!"
"Where?" she asked with a confused look on her face.
"Our last hope!"
